Subsea 7 has won an engineering, procurement, installation and pre-commissioning contract on BP's deepwater West Nile Delta project, offshore Egypt.
The contract covers the subsea infrastructure for 12 wells on the Giza, Fayoum and Raven subsea fields in the West Nile Delta phase two in up to 800m water depth.
The contract scope includes 80km of umbilicals and 220km of pipelines. It also includes the installation of the export lines from the subsea location to the Idku terminal.
Engineering and project management work will start immediately and will be undertaken at Subsea 7's Global Projects Centre in London. Offshore installation is scheduled to commence in two stages.
The first stage, commencing in 2017, will comprise the landfall and shallow water pipelay, and the second stage, commencing in 2018, will involve the installation of deepwater pipelines and execution of
the SURF scope. Subsea 7 vessels Seven Borealis and Seven Antares will be used for the pipelay, with the heavy construction vessel, Normand Oceanic, being used for the other construction activities.
Øeyvind Mikaelsen, Executive Vice President Southern Hemisphere and Global Projects said: "This major contract awarded by BP recognizes our performance during the first phase of the West Nile Delta project
and allows us to deliver synergies across multiple work packages. Our early engagement on this project has enabled BP and Subsea 7 together with DEA to develop an optimized solution for the development of
the Giza, Fayoum and Raven fields and demonstrates the effective collaboration between us. We look forward to consolidating our presence in Egypt and building on our long and successful relationship with BP."
